Q: I currently have the menus set to show the selected item in white and the non-selected items in blue.
However, I can only choose one item in each menu.
Is there any way to choose multiple items from a single ajax drop down menu and have all of selected items show white? If so, what option do I need to enable for the ajax drop down menu?
Programmatically, I think it would be similar to something to:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,1);
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,2);
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't has a feature to highlight multiple items now.
Actually you can use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
You can create Individual Item Style with style of selected item andusing this function assign it for the items you want to highlight
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "ajax drop down menu hint",,"1"]);
Q: Is it possible to use this easy drop down menu as a static HTML form element so it does not behave like a link but its value is posted with other form elements on submit?
A: You are able to paste any html code within items.
So you can paste a form too.
For example:
var menuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'>
<input name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'>
<INPUT type=hidden name=cof value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'>
</form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "",],
Q: I'm trying deluxe-menu, but when I'm making my own menu, I often get error messages.
It will not work. I get these messages when I use individual styles.It is a very nice program, but I think with a few bugs.
A: You have errors in your data file.
["|De Groese Til","", , , , , , "0", , ],
["|De Supermarkt","", , , , , , "0", , ],
In this items you assigned menu styles, but there is no menu style in your parameters. You have only item style.
You should write them so:
["|De Groese Til","", , , , , "0", , , ], ["|De Supermarkt","", , , , , "0", , , ],
Q: I would like to know how to define separator on itemstyle or how to show separator on menu items.
Thanking you in advance.
A: You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
